How Quaint

– In medieval times, not only were farm animals put on trial (and found guilty), but inanimate objects as well. It made sense, since the government, besides wars, had nothing better to do and people got entertained easily with nonsense.

– Football, or more specifically “Mob Football” was banned during this time in some areas because of its violent nature, as large groups of people, guided by very few rules, ran around trampling each other to score. Later on, they added rules and subtracted people and became the tedious and boring spectacle we enjoy now.

– Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook (the trinity of blue) are, indeed, not a hip, young and progressive bunch, but rather, a crotchety old man.
